Hide AdBut Horsham District Council, which is responsible for the pond, said today that it had no concerns about the pond.
A spokesman said: “Horsham District Council’s Parks and Countryside team are monitoring the condition of Storrington Mill Pond and can report that although the water levels are low due to the recent warm weather, the general health of the pond is good.
“There are fish surfacing and there are also lots of young fish in the water, so we do not have any concerns.”
